Chapter 356 You’ll Know When You See Him
It takes one hour to take a boat from the pier to the island, with an average of two hours for one trip. There are four trips to the island a day. The brothers Zheng Xuyang and Zheng Xujie arrived at the island at exactly 4 noon. When they set out, they used the phone in the guesthouse to call Ruan Shaokun first, also to make sure he was in the army and had no missions outside.
So when they arrived, Ruan Shaoqin was already waiting for them at the dock.
Originally, after receiving their call, Ruan Shaokun was going to pick them up himself. However, when he was about to go out, he was suddenly called away by the commander for something, so he was delayed, so he had to let Ruan Shaoqin come to pick them up.
After Zheng Xuyang and Zheng Xujie followed the crowd off the boat, they didn't know which way to go for a moment. When they were about to find someone to ask, they heard someone calling them from the front.
"Is it Zheng Xuyang and Zheng Xujie?" Ruan Shaoqin had never met Zheng Xuyang before. This time, he was arranged by his brother to come and pick someone up. Ruan Shaokun only told him the names of the people he was asked to pick up. The two were about the same age as them. He said irresponsibly that he would know when he saw them at the dock.
Listen to what he said. You will know when you meet the person. No one would be embarrassed to say this out loud, but his brother said it. Moreover, Ruan Shaoqin believed it. So, when he saw two young and promising young men in the crowd, and they seemed to be here for the first time, he thought that they were the ones he wanted to meet, so he stepped forward to ask.
"We are, are you Comrade Ruan Shaokun?" Zheng Xuyang and Zheng Xujie were just about to ask someone they were traveling with to see where the troops were heading? They could just go there by themselves, when they heard a young man in military uniform in front of them asking with a smile.
"I'm not. Ruan Shaokun is my brother, and I'm his younger brother Ruan Shaoqin. My brother was temporarily called away by the commander, so I have to come to pick you up by myself. I hope you don't mind!" Ruan Shaoqin usually looks like a child who has not grown up. He has been protected by his brothers since he was a child. Whenever he wanted something at home, he would act coquettishly in front of his grandparents, and he would get the thing. This gave him a childish mentality.
However, given his age and his position as battalion commander, he knew very well what to say when he met people.
"It doesn't matter. Our coming here is abrupt. Besides, this place is easy to find, so we can go there." Perhaps it was because the three of them met for the first time, so they were not as close to each other as Ruan Shaoke and the others.
After the three of them exchanged polite words, Ruan Shaoqin took the bag from Zheng Xujie and carried it on his shoulder. "Let's go. It's time for dinner. Let's go back and eat first. If there's anything, we can talk later."
Ruan Shaoqin led the way for them. Along the way, he was busy talking. He first asked them about Ruanruan's current situation, and then asked about the pharmaceutical factory and the family compound in Yuncheng, including their work. He asked about everything one by one. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was like on a blind date and knew the other person's situation thoroughly.
As for Zheng Xuyang, he answered Ruan Shaoqin's questions directly if he could, but he didn't know what kind of medicine Ruanruan gave Huo Haocheng, so it was useless to ask.
Ruan Shaoqin expressed his satisfaction with Zheng Xuyang's honesty and believed that he could be friends with him.
Along the way, Ruan Shaoqin was asking questions, Zheng Xuyang was answering, and Zheng Xujie just had to follow his two brothers quietly.
It took them about 20 minutes to reach the troops. When they arrived, Ruan Shaokun was standing in front of the soldiers on guard. Seeing that Ruan Shaoqin had received the people, he felt relieved.
Like Ruan Shaoqin, it was also the first time he met the Zheng Xuyang brothers.
When he was free from the previous mission, he learned about the brothers' recent situation and the affairs of the Zheng family from Huo Haocheng. He was also present when the second master of the Zheng family was interrogated, so he had a general understanding of it. From what Jie and Huo Haocheng said, he could also guess the current relationship between Zheng Xuyang's brother and the second uncle of the Zheng family. Therefore, when Zheng Xuyang and the others came with the things prepared by Ruanruan, he could also understand the reason.
"Brother, you two are Comrade Zheng Xuyang and Comrade Zheng Xujie. They are here to pick you up!" During the 20-minute conversation, Ruan Shaoqin listed the two as his brothers, so when he met Ruan Shaokun, he took the lead in introducing the two, his eyes full of praise for them.
Seeing that his brother looked worthless, Ruan Shaokun just didn't bother to pay attention to him. "Comrade Zheng Xuyang, Comrade Zheng Xujie, hello, I am Ruan Shaokun. Huo Haocheng mentioned you to me before. We are all family, so I won't be polite with you. It's getting late now, let's go to the cafeteria to eat first."
He has returned home over the years and learned a little about his grandparents' and parents' evaluation of Zheng Xuyang from the letters they exchanged. What is certain is that his family has a very high opinion of him and recognizes his abilities, so Ruan Shaokun also recognizes Zheng Xuyang.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Comrade Ruan Shaokun." No matter what, they met for the first time today, and the first impression is very important. Zheng Xuyang agreed with what Ruan Shaokun said about the topic of family. After all, the Ruan family has helped him a lot in the past two years.
"Okay, let's talk while we walk. I'm sorry for not treating you well today. You are all grown men and usually eat in the cafeteria, so today I can only treat you to eat in the cafeteria together."
It’s not that Ruan Shaokun didn’t want to take them home for dinner, but he was a bachelor and usually lived in the dormitory, so he really had no place to cook for them. He thought that someone who was praised by Huo Haocheng would understand his situation and would not care so much.
Zheng Xuyang and his friends really don't care about these things. They usually eat in the cafeteria at the factory. Who doesn't like to eat ready-made food? But he is married and has a family. He is afraid that if he continues to eat in the cafeteria every day, people will gossip about his wife. So he only goes home to eat after get off work in the afternoon. Otherwise, he will definitely drag his wife to eat in the cafeteria with him.
You know, the canteen of the pharmaceutical factory serves a combination of meat and vegetables, as well as fruits, every day, so there is no nutritional problem at all.
"It's great to eat in the cafeteria. I eat in the cafeteria every day in Yuncheng. There are fish, meat, and some vegetarian dishes. The nutrition is balanced, and I don't have to go home to cook. How great!" Zheng Xujie, who was standing aside, was very excited when he heard Ruan Shaokun say that he would take them to the cafeteria. You know, he eats in the cafeteria every day now, even though his sister-in-law asks her brother to invite him to eat at home every day.
However, he felt that his brother and sister-in-law had already started a family, and he also had his own family, so he would not bother them. Moreover, he and Huo Haoli kept each other company. They would go to the cafeteria to eat together after get off work every day, and then go home slowly together. On the way, they would even tell each other about the gossip they encountered at work. It was so fun.
"Oh, you eat in the cafeteria every day too?" Hearing Zheng Xujie say this, Ruan Shaokun also saw happiness in his eyes. He didn't quite understand, what was there to be happy about eating in the cafeteria every day?
"Yes, the food in the cafeteria of our pharmaceutical factory is delicious. We don't have to worry about what to eat every day. As long as we go to the cafeteria, we want to have a little bit of every dish. So brother Haoli and I order different dishes and we eat them in rotation. In this way, we can have every dish. Oh, by the way, brother Haoli is the younger brother of brother-in-law Haocheng, and I am the adopted younger brother of sister Ruanruan!!!"
Seeing that he didn't believe him, Zheng Xujie told him everything that happened when he and Huo Haoli ate in the cafeteria every day.
“Hahaha^_^, this is a good idea, not bad”
Actually, Ruan Shaokun did believe it, he just wanted to see what else Zheng Xujie could say. But what he didn't expect was that this kid really told everything.
